Microsoft Powerpoint Issues with OSX Mavericks

I ran a clean install of OSX Mavericks upon its initial release. Since then and the fresh installation of Microsoft Office 2011, I have encountered an occuring issue where upon opening the application, a message appears stating "There is a problem with the Office database". The message suggests rebuilding the damaged database, however I have done that multiple times with no success. I have also tried other methods suggested on the Office Support site to no avail. I have even gone to the trouble of removing and re-installing Office multiple times and the issue still persists. In the past week the issue has developed into Powerpoint crashing whenever a task is undertaken, such as copy & paste. I am running Version 14.3.9. Thanks for any help in advance.

Some months later, but the solution to this problem is posted here:

  • Photoshop text issue with OSX Mavericks on Macbook Pro

    I have a frustrating problem with Photoshop on my Macbook Pro. I can enter text without any problem, but the minute I try to edit it, resize, change font or colour it totallt dissappears and the layer name revers to 'layer x" (whatever number it is). This problem has appeared since the upgrade to OSX Mavericks, but only on my Macbook Pro...it does not happen on my 27" iMac which is running the same OS.
    I have totally uninstalled all my CC Apps on the Mackbook Pro, reinstalled Photoshop CC, same problem.
    I uninstalled CC again, and reinstalled Photoshop CS6, same problem.
    this is despite having run the software without problem previously.
    The Macbook Pro is a early 2010 model, has only 256 graphics...so cant run the 3D option of CC,but it has 8gig ram...the only difference between the Macbook Pro and iMac in terms of spec is the different graphics card size. (iMac is late 2012 newer version)
    The problem is I am a teacher and the Mackbook is my teaching laptop...and I teach digital photography...so I have to have Photoshop up and running.
    Any sugguestons...other than a total clean reinstall of the entire computer which would be a total pain and extremely time consuming.

    Turned off the dictation feature and it seems to work with CS6 which I had installed....I'll try puting CC back on and see what happens.

  • Are there compatibility issues with OSX Mavericks?

    I am currently running OSX Lion on my iMac and using Photoshop CC. If I upgrade to OSX Mavericks (OSX 9) are there any compatibility issues?

    MacOS 10.9 has a lot of bugs, but the biggest ones seem to have been fixed by 10.9.4.
    The problems we see remaining mostly center around drivers, especially Epson printer drivers.

  • Macbook air issues with osx mavericks - screen goes blank

    I have a late 2010 MacBook Air 11".  When I open the screen several time during the day, the system hangs and the screen goes blank.  I usually have to reboot several times to get the Mac to come back.  Any ideas as to what is happening.

    The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer.  The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof.  It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components.  If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it.  Do the EXACT opposite.  Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it.  The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components.  You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not.  I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly. 

  • Quark 7.5 won't launch with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1

    QuarkXPress 7.5 won't launch with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 I keep getting the window saying "QarkXPress quit unexpectedly" (see image below) and when I click on reopen, it does the same everytime. HELP!

    Hi DCG,
    hope oyu had a great christmas.
    I posted the post you reference on June 11, 2013.
    Since then a lot of things have happened. We released 9.5.4 several weeks ago, which seems to work fine for everybody under Mavericks.
    We also posted an update for version 10 that makes it Mavericks compatible and afterwards released an update that fixes most issues reported.
    So please try 10.0.2 or 9.5.4 on Mavericks, they should both work fine: http://www.quark.com/de/Support/Downloads/Search_Results.aspx?pid=1&oid=2&ftid=2

  • My Keynote does not work on my MacBook Pro with OsX Mavericks. It opens though, but then is stuck, menu does not react. What to do?

    I have Keynote 6.1 and run it on a MacBookPro with OsX Mavericks. I can start Keynote, but I cant access the menu, it is stuck. What to do?

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store, it will be updated to the latest verion which is 6.2
    let us know if this helped.

  • I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it

    I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys.  What's really weird is that happens randomly.  I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this.  Can anyone help?  of course this happened after my warranty expired.

    **update**
    I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose.  In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!).  Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind.  I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store.  But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working. 
    So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off.  Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
    Hopefully this might help someone.

  • Can't install Flash Player on Mac with OSX Mavericks

    Hi I have a MacBook Pro with OSX Mavericks and I have tried to install then uninstall the Flash Player and each time a box pops up and says the application quit unexpectely. I hvae tried this several times with no luck. Any suggestions?

    On my MacBook Pro I have the same problem, it says that Flash isn't installed, but Flash is working perfectly fine in Chrome?
    That's because Chrome has its own proprietary Flash Player embnedded by Google. There are instructions for a thorough "clean install" here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084 if the regular clean install won't work.

  • Permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8

    This is likely a newbie question. I am new to OS X, but I am familiar with Linux/Unix Terminal usage.
    I have a permissions issue with OSX 10.5.8.
    I cannot use basic commands on the Terminal, such as mkdir, on my own home directory. I get an error message saying the operation is not permitted.
    I have traced the probable culprit down to default ACL permissions settings.
    So after hours of research on Google, I found out that ACL are turned on by default in OSX 10.5.8.
    But I don't know how to safely use it yet, so I need help.
    I'm not quite familiar with ACL, so I need to know how to add myself safely and securely to modify my home directory.
    The command is with chmod. Can this also be done via the GUI?
    What is the option for chmod to modify my home directory?
    Is it:
    *$ cd ~*
    *$ chmod +a "user:john allow write" .*
    *$ chmod +a "user:john allow delete" .*
    Alternatively, if I use the "chmod -N ." command on the home directory, will that safely remove all ACL? Or is that recipe for a major security hole in my machine?
    Thanks!

    There are many people on this board that know way more than I do. Sometimes there is the tendency to copy/paste some kind of boilerplate response though, especially if there isn't quite enough information about a particular problem, so just keep trying.
    You should be able to add anything you want to your user directory without the use of any ACL entries. The purpose for the *deny delete* entries on the system created folders would probably be to reduce customer service calls about "accidentally" deleting some of the folders that the system expects to be there - it does not affect creating items.
    To verify that there aren't other attributes getting in the way, open the /Applications/Utilities/Terminal application, copy/paste the following command(s) into the window (there is a trailing space), drag the problem folder(s) from a Finder window to the Terminal window (this will paste the path), press return and post back with the results:
    /usr/bin/who am i; /bin/ls -leO@d
    These commands will display the ownership and permissions, including any ACL entries and extended attributes.
    On my Leopard user folder the permissions are drwxr-xr-x+ with an ACL entry *group:everyone deny delete*. These permissions allow read/write for me, read for everyone else, and an administrator authentication will be needed to delete the folder. These are similar to what you posted earlier, so maybe there is something else going on in there.

  • I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

    I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

    Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
    I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...).  I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
    From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images.  Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
    Peace

  • Can I set up a ps3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

    I cant find any thing on the net about this. Does any one here know how I might set up my PS3 media server with OSX Mavericks with out additional software?

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
    Try control - clicking on it and see if you get an open option. If not, go to System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General and set it to 'Allow apps downloaded from' anywhere. For safety, you might want to change it back to something more secure.

  • I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?

    I had a Tascam US 122 usb interface, but it didn't work with OSX Mavericks. What model would work with this? Would the US-144 mkii work with my system?
    Thanks!

    You didn't mention the kind of track in GB you are trying to create, but if you are connecting the keyboard with a guitar chord to the Tascam, you will need to set up a Real Instrument Track in GB to hear anything. If your keyboard has a midi out, use a midi cable to the midi input of the Tascam, create Software Instrument Track, and you will hear something. But with a guitar chord, it won't send the right signal to a Software Instrument Track. The headphone jack in the Tascam monitors the signal coming back to it out of GB (if you choose the US-122 as your monitor in GB's preferences), so you wouldn't hear your keyboard if the track is not set up correctly. It could be the drivers, but since you didn't mention the type of keyboard or the type of GB track, I thought that might be a possible answer as well.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 not working with OSX Mavericks

    Hello,
    I downloaded OSX Mavericks within the past two or three days, and I've been able to use Microsoft Word just fine. I tried opening PowerPoint today and it crashed, so I updated the Microsoft Office package. Now, I cannot open anything but Messenger.

    Went through this exact problem two weeks ago.
    Basically, when I installed I then updated and only Word would open correctly. After calling the help desk and going through a ton of suggestions we got it to work by doing update 14.1.0 and then opening Word and updating to 14.1.2. This fixed my problem and it hasn't repeated... and I use the whole office suite daily.
    IIRC it was the 14.1.2 update after 14.1.0 that did it, however you can call Microsoft support... just make sure you have about 45 minutes available if you have to do some serious troubleshooting if the two updates don't fix it for you. Keep in mind this worked for me so YMMV.

  • I can't see my Raid (Drobo) on my desktop with OSX Mavericks

    Hello,
    I just updated to OSX Mavericks. I now have a problem with my RAID array. It doesn't mount on the desktop. I tried updating software, contacting Drobo(out of warranty) verifying  and repairing the disk, physically "mounting the disk" in Disk First Aid. I get nothing. In Drobo's program, the disk is functional and healthy. It just won't mount. I didn't have this problem before I installed Mavericks. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Al Harding

    found this
    With the help of Drobo's technical support who pointed me to this MacRumors thread, I've resolved the issue. It turned out that somehow my drive got set to "invisible", which is a filesystem attribute. I don't think this setting is settable via the Finder, so I'm not sure how it got set like that.
    To confirm the issue, I had to install Xcode and then install the command line tools, then run this Terminal command:
    GetFileInfo /Volumes/Drobo/
    where /Volumes/Drobo/ is the path to the volume in question. This command returns all the attributes set for that volume. If the list of attributes includes a V (capital V), it means that the volume is invisible.
    To fix it:
    SetFile -a v /Volumes/Drobo/
    with a lowercase v, to remove the invisible attribute.
    After a reboot, everything was back to normal.
    Note: depending on the drive and your permissions, it's possible you will need to run these commands with sudo, although I didn't.
